According to the Heir To The Empire trilogy, the guards also had to do periodic rotations as Stormtroopers in battle to ensure they never got rusty from lack of battle
So they are essentially peak human. Kinda scary, but also a shame we dont see them in action.
Royal guards in the Disney ones were so powerful, they had to edit out their weapons so they’d lose.
Imagine going through that, just to be tossed on the wall by Yoda 🤣
I think their weapons can block lightsabers and they were kind of mini bosses in some Star Wars games.
I know not everything needs to have a tv show but a guy making his way to becoming an Imperial Guard and turning the tide of a war would be sick though
“Super tough and dangerous” - YODA RAISES HIS HAND . . . 😂😂
And 2 of them go through all that training and tests just to get knocked tf out by a drugged up frog man flicking his wrist Edit: people taking this comment way too seriously
If I learned anything from Lego Star Wars the complete saga, it’s that these dudes were tougher than the average enemy
The royal guard at the end is actually in a board game, he's one of my favorite units
I wish we got to see them more
Normal Imperial Citizen when talking about the Imperial Guard: he’s just standing there… …MENACINGLY!
And Ray be beating several of them at once on her second battle with a light saber
Yoda swiped left with two fingers to defeat these guys.
Royal Guards are like the Custodians from 40K
They are basically the 40k custodians of the empire
Instead of making a Tv series about these guys we get the Acolyte and the Skeleton Crew. A lot of geniuses over there at Disney.
Imperial royal guards were just The elite of the elite when it came to regular old humans without the force. But the most important trait wasn't necessarily their combat abilities. It was an undying loyalty to the emperor.
One of my all time favorite memes was the scene where Yoda yeets the two guards into the wall and the caption was, "Imagine working your way all the way to the top class of guards, guarding one of the most important people in the galaxy, only to be taken out by a bipedal frog that's addicted to ketamine"😂😂
